Vegetable Soup / Outerscope

[bandersen]

Anyone remember the PBS show "Vegetable Soup" that ran from about 1975-1978 ?

For years I've had these weird memories of a very scary show with strangle Pink Floyd like animation. odd songs and kids traveling around in a homemade space capsule. When I described it to friends, they had no idea what I was talking about and assumed I was just merging memories of several shows together.

Oh no, it's all too real! http://nicksagan.blogs.com/nick_saga...able_soup.html

The early episodes were especially creepy - puppets with dead eyes and giant 'man hands' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRcNIqrZ6KI

The puppets improved in later episodes, but just as weird I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAHcqyex6g
